After 9pm CDT a squall line developed across north central Kansas and evolved into a bow echo. Widespread 60 to 80 mph winds with pockets of 80-100 mph winds occurred across a large part of Ottawa, Cloud, Clay, Geary, Washington and Riley counties between 10pm and 12 am Saturday night. At least 2 small tornadoes were confirmed that evening however most of the damage was due to straight line winds that in some cases were measured in excess of 100 mph.
